    Tips

    House Merberich is located one kilometer west of the center of Langerwehe. A spring emerges from the slope 200 meters south of this and feeds three ponds below the courtyard. This small brook may have given the property its name, because in the past centuries it was called Marbach or Merbach.
    Like many noble estates, House Merberich also changed into bourgeois hands in the course of the 19th century. Around 1890 the Aachen merchant Edwin Hasenclever acquired the estate. He and his wife Irma, née Prym, had the complex converted into a palace-like mansion in 1911 by the well-known Munich architect Prof. Emanuel von Seidl. Nobody suspected at the time that a completely different function would soon be added. In 1914 Merberich was a military hospital.
